Introduction:NavigationThis Web site is primarily intended to be read in a linear fashion, like a book. To facilitate this progress, a down arrow and “Next” link are provided at the bottom of every page. Click on either one to take you to the next chapter in sequence. Note that the first page in every major section is a table of contents for that section. Clicking on the “Next” link at the bottom of one of these tables of contents will take you to the first chapter in that section. The primary intended sequence through the material is to read the Intro section, the Elements section, the Artists section (including their Tracks), and the Closing section. You would then read the corresonding Track chapter for each Artist as you go through the Artists section. To facilitate an alternative path through the material, I've also provided Track links at the end of each Element chapter. The Tracks identified here were selected to provide examples of the Element just discussed. Although all the Tracks illustrate multiple Elements, I've picked the best examples for each Element, and have avoided any overlap, so if you read all the example Tracks for each Element, you will have read all the Track chapters by the end of the Elements section. Text links are always underlined. Unvisited links are blue (as opposed to the black of normal text), and visited links are purple. A red triangle in the lower right corner of each page will return you to the top of that page, in case that is where you should wish to go. Realizing that you may wish to wander off the beaten path from time to time, the following other links are also available on every page.
Recommended books and CDs have links from multiple chapters on this site to their pages on Amazon.com. These links are generally provided both as text and as images of book or album covers appearing in the column on the right. In either case, links to Amazon.com will always open in a separate window, so that you can keep your place on the Reason to Rock site while investigating an item on Amazon. Bibliographic references for quotations are linked to their respective entries in the bibliography, which will open in a separate window. The bibliography, in turn, has links that will take you to Amazon.com or to other sites providing further information about the source material. Finally, the pages describing great examples of rock music have text links embedded in them that say: (Audio clip - 60K.) Clicking on one of these will download a small MP3 file to play. These are bits of the recordings being described. How your browser plays the MP3 file depends on your particular browser configuration.
